We have researched a lot and decided to go ahead with the perfect blend of regular curriculum and a unique Theme based methodology developed has been by our R&D Team. This methodology concentrates on developing the creativity, independence, leadership skills and communication skills. ABCs and 123s is something any parent can teach, but we are going to take that to another level with our Thematic methodology. Thus, making a difference in the entire learning process as well as concentrating on the holistic development of the child.

We pride ourselves at being Eduprenuers whose primary aim is to Lay Happy Foundations. We have put all our time and effort into bringing together the best learning centres and infrastructure to supplement a teaching methodology that aims at providing a holistic development to your child. While providing this, the primary factor that we have considered was the happiness, the smiles, the giggles and chuckles of the tiny angels entering our schools.

We have brought together big names in the education industry like EDA our design architects, 3D EduMagic for a fun and lasting experience for the children etc. We have also paid attention to proving life skills like organic farming, cooking without a stove, getting ready for school etc. We are giving our primary attention to communication skills developed through our role play area and removing stage fear and giving confidence through our unique amphi- Stage craft. Oh yes we have not forgotten the fun and play aspect of pre –primary schooling. You can see this through our elaborate ball arena, music and dance, soft gym etc. We have spent a lot of time in researching and procuring the right teaching tools for the children to help enhance each and every aspect involved their Holistic Development.

All these things, the furniture, the role play area, the amphitheatre etc are custom made. They have been designed after months of research by the core team.

The primary focus will always be the children. We realise that the foundation and subsequently the future of hundreds and thousands of children is in our hands. We sincerely believe that each and every child that enters our school is our own. Subsequently, every decision we take for each child after that will always be right.

Are our teachers and support staff trained and reliable? How are they different from other schools?

Here at IRIS, the teachers are another name for mothers and role models. The teachers of Iris collaborate with both child and parent to help learning become interesting. They aim at creating a warm and responsive atmosphere to get the child involved at every step of the thinking and learning process. We have qualified and experienced teachers, who work with passion and patience to give their best to every child. They are dedicated, understanding, caring and enthusiastic. Apart from their educational qualifications and experience, we train them on special modules like Reflective Practices, Emotional Intelligence etc. Our teachers form a team with the children, growing with their curiosity and sense of wonderment.

Helpers and Transport

At IRIS, we understand that helpers play a major role as they are closely associated with the child’s day to day activities. We train the helpers on how to handle the children with warmth and tender care.

The entire transport system is perfectly streamlined. We have procedures in place from the time the child gets ready to board the van to the time the child is responsibly handed over to the parent or guardian. We employ only experienced and professional drivers, where safety and reliability become the primary criteria. Our efficient

We conduct interesting workshops on hygiene, stance, courtesy, mannerisms, English language etc. In our experience, we have seen that the little ones learn from the helpers and drivers, as they silently observe them too. Therefore, we pay a lot of attention to their grooming and etiquette.

No examinations. We only assess the children term wise to give us and the parents an idea of how much the child has understood and what more can be done for that child.

Do we have regular interactions between teachers and the parents?

Regular Parent Teacher Meetings to enable the parents to understand how the child is adjusting and progressing in his class. This gives you an opportunity to clarify any doubts or queries.

Do we provide day care and what are the details regarding the same?

Child care or day care is the care of a child during the day by a person other than the child’s parents. Day care is typically an ongoing service during specific periods, such as the parents’ time at work.
